    Sometimes my polar will slip or flip a bit and stop monitoring (get a message saying no heart rate detected). Maybe yours slipped and you didn't notice? I do Jillian's extreme shed and shred and burn about 500 from warm up to cool down (80 minutes).

    Be sure to have the sound on and you'll know if it stops detecting your heart rate

    Not familiar with the class but It sounds low though regardless. Mine slips all the time, because of sweat and the muscles in a V shape where it sits though. Perhaps check it often next class and see...

    Body Pump is a class that is all weight lifting so that sounds right. You will burn more calories throughout the day doing normal activities.
